Honiton, Market town in East Devon, England

The town stretches along High Street, lined with Georgian buildings, including the notable Marwood House from 1619 and the former coaching inn Manor House.

The settlement, mentioned in the Domesday Book as Honetone, developed into a market town after Flemish immigrants introduced lace making during the Elizabethan period.

The Allhallows Museum presents an extensive collection of regional lace and antiquities within the oldest standing structure in the community.

Located 17 miles northeast of Exeter, Honiton connects to London Waterloo and Exeter through regular rail services and major roads A35 and A30.

During the Hot Pennies Ceremony, dating from the 1221 royal charter, participants throw heated coins from building balconies to the streets below.
